thursday sep 9 1971 the tribune page 9 farm hbune whiiif rtarmer one of the busiest spots on the holiday weekend was a location at cone 6 markham known only as farmer jacks the fruit and vegetable centre did a booming business sometimes by a a wall agricultural representative for york region york region yield records for wheat were broken on many farms in york this year i have heard of fields turning out as high as 76 bushels per acre which is a fan tastic achievement i suppose weather is a big factor but fer tility and particularly the higher rates of nitrogen we put on now in the spring gets the m 9 m yield up too j jjbf g the variety hitting b b 4 the top most often is b m a yorkstar its a great jw ft jfok a m yielder stands up well n w k m am mr m and its only weak spot mb m ff wmr

include just enough nitrogen to get it started a good shot of phosphate and a medium amount of potash but a dollars worth of nitrogen in the spring will likely show the best return there is a huge crop of corn this year too but it wont be ready to cut for silage until the last half of september maturity is if anything a little behind schedule probably due to cool night temperature during august its costly to put corn in a silo before its ready for a crop cut a week or ten days too early the loss in yield would be about a ton per acre more than that seepage carries with it soluble sugars protein and organic acids at the right making it difficult to keep the shelves filled one maturity the silage of the customers is pretty karen mcewen 14 of contains 60 to 65 teverton drive scarboro percent moisture jas thomas most of the leaves will be green and the grain wheat yields hit record 76 bushels per acre jvha is a iarmer m produce fresh from the field will be in the hard dent stage there is bound to be a lot of corn left over after the silos are full it can be stackedbut would likely be more useful as grain temporary cribs work alright for storage but there are many more combines around than pickers so the storage has to be for shelled corn using acid as a preservative for wet shelled is a very practical answer it was used here by quite a few last fall and it generally worked well there was the odd problem but they were mostly the result of something that went wrong in mixing the acid with the grain with current corn prices its better to feed than sell it and acid storage fits nicely with home feeding champion ayrshires stouffville at the recent barrie fair raycroft ayrshire farm owned by ws ramer richmond hill and located on hwy 48 north of ringwood

national revenue and taxation to establish that a cattle feeder or feedlot operator is not a farmer reports gw hedley secretary- manager of the on tario beef im- pravement as sociation this is a most serious situation continues mr hedley for if this interpretation is upheld farmers who feed cattle will lose the five yew averaging provisions that are so essential in farming we believe this in terpretation is com pletely unjustified and are appealing to the proper authorities for clarification that a cattle feeder is a farmer the assessors have interpreted that the phrase livestock raising in the income tax act definition of farming refers only to the breeding operation in so far as livestock production is con cerned this narrow definition excludes such established farming operations as the feeding of cattle and hogs there is no valid basis for this restrictive and ar bitrary definition since the cattle and hog feeders are exposed to at least the same degree to the vagaries of climate markets and the agricultural economy as are other types of livestock operations at this time at least one farmer in the ottawa valley has received an assessment for further tax from the federal department on the basis that he has used the averaging provision this farmer has been forced to post a bond in the amount of the assessment before he will even be granted an appeal hearing to establish his case the ontario beef improvement as sociation will at tempt to clarify once and for all that a cattle feeder is a farmer township of uxbridge notice notice of application to the ontario

undersigned the address to which notice of hearing is to be sent the last date for filing objections will be sept 16 1971 dated at the township of uxbridge this 2nd day of sept 1971 d s kennedy clerk of the township of uxbridge municipal office goodwood ontario appendix a notice bylaw 1517 of the corporation of the township of uxbridge township being the restricted area or zoning bylaw affect ing all the lands and landowners in the town ship was enacted in part to control sand and gravel operations within the township and the ontario municipal board board rec ognized this in granting its approval thereto however in its decision approving bylaw 1517 in the main the board made certain recommendations concerning portions of the bylaw relating to sand and gravel opera tions and granted only temporary approval thereto which was extended by further order of the board as a result of the above and based on fur ther information supplied to the township bylaws 1585 and 15s9 were enacted bylaw 1585 bylaw 1585 expands the definition of home occupation for residential uses to include any occupation conducted within a house by members of the family residing therein pursuant to which arts and crafts are produced on the premises and provided that such home occupation is clearly second ary to the main residential use bylaw 1 197 which formerly dealt with zoning in the township is repealed lastly bylaw 1585 for the first time allows as a permitted use the operation of a sawmill in the general agricultural zone bylaw 1589 the changes i bat bylaw 15s9 make in relation to bylaw 151 are more extensive where previously bylaw 1517 defined gra vel pit to include any excavation made for the purpose of marching for or for re moving soil sand or gravel from land for commercial purposes bylaw 15s9 deletes the reference to searching for such deposits in that definition furthermore the defini tion of use in bylaw 1517 includes the purpose for which a lot structure or build ing or any combination thereof is intended but bylaw 1589 deletes this so that the mean ing thereof only relates to actual design arrangement occupation or maintenance thereof bylaw 1517 establishes certain setback restrictions from the front yard rear yard and side yard limits of property within which distances sand and gravel operations are prohibited now the new bylaw alters the definition of these limits so as to include the space from those limits to excavations where formerly the setback restrictions only applied to buildings and structures whereas the zone boundaries of land in quarry industrial zones the only one within which sand and gravel operations are now permitted coincide with the outline of the pit or quarry workings pursuant to by law 1517 bylaw 1589 deletes this so that the boundary of land in this and related zones is determined according to key maps which are attached as schedule a to the bylaw in attempting to more exactly locate sand and gravel operations and separate same from land presently used for agricultural purposes or land intended to he used for sand and gravel operations on which no such activity lias taken place three new zones have been created which are described as sand and gravel agricultural zone aggre gate processing zone and quarry holding zone the creation of these three zones re quired that the said key maps 1 2 and 3 foiming schedule a to bylaw 1517 be amended on updated information supplied to the township to indicate what land is located in which zone and the new key maps are attached as amended and revised as schedule a to bylaw 1589 as aforesaid the only difference between the new sand and gravel agricultural zone and the othei agricultural zones previously established under bylaw 1517 is that although a de tached singlefamily dwelling house or a home occupation in a permitted dwelling house are existing permitted residential uses the new agricultural zone only allows as a residential use a detached singlefamily dwelling house if occupied by a caretaker watchman or other similar person employed fulltime on the lot on which such dwelling house is located in regard to nonresidential uses bylaw 1589 only permits a farm a golf course or driving range a private park a public use or a seasonal fruit lower or farm product sales outlet for the complete list of existing nonresidential uses permit ted in agricultural zones reference should be made to bylaw 1517 which is available at the clerks office as hereinafter set out since bylaw 1589 established a new ag gregate processing zone it was necessary to remove those provisions contained in the quarry industrial zone established under bylaw 1517 dealing with aggregate storage areas concrete batching plants and crush ing plants and then insert these permitted uses into the new aggregate processing zone bylaw 1589 also removes the option of planting grass pursuant to the screen planting requirements and replaces it with the option of planting a seeded berm as established by the new aggregate processing zone there are no residential uses permitted and the nonresidential uses allow aggregate operations together with gravel pits the rest of the provisions are the same as for the quarry industrial zone established under b law 1517 except thai the restrictions on locations of aggregate processing plant and equipment previously contained in bylaw 1517 have been removed therefrom and incorporated into the new aggregate processing zone by bylaw 1589 bylaw 1589 also creates a quarry hold ing zone in which the residential uses per mitted are the same as the sand and gravel agricultural zone but the nonresidential uses are limited to a farm or a public use as set out in the bylaw 1517 it is the in tention of the township that land intended to be used for aggregate processing be zoned within the quarry holding zone so that more effective municipal planning can be given to the sand and gravel industry as a result of bylaw 1589 gravel pits are permitted in the quarry industrial zone and the aggregate processing zone whereas bylaw 1517 merely permits same in the latter and aggregate processing operations are no longer authorized in the former zone but are permissable only in the aggregate processing zone as a result of bylaw 1589 where land is allowed to le used for no purpose other than the planting of grass shrubs seeded berms trees or similar uses no pit or quarry shall be established or made in those areas copies of all of the relevant bylaws and the key maps may le obtained from the office of the clerk of the township in good wood ontario and regard should be had thereto in order io deteimine the exact win ing of all land within the township
